Father Facing Charges After Allegedly Bringing Loaded Gun To Florida Middle School

A father is facing several charges after allegedly bringing a loaded gun to a Florida middle school Monday.

Christopher Freeman, 27, received a FaceTime call at 3 p.m. Monday from his son who claimed a Bear Lakes Middle School teacher “slammed” him, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. The father arrived at the school about one hour later.

“I want to see the guy who slammed my son,” Freeman said, according to WPTV. “I’ve got something for him.”

The father was “visibly upset” and was “yelling and screaming” as he was in a wheelchair. A school resource officer noticed Freeman had a gun sticking out of his pant, WaPo reported.

The middle school was put on Code Red lockdown, WPTV reported.

The father said he did not have plans to hurt anybody and that his gun was loaded for security purposes, according to WaPo.

Freeman allegedly told an assistant principal who called earlier in the afternoon about the incident involving the son that “If this isn’t my son, you’re all dead,” WaPo reported.
